[MeeGo - Harmattan] Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta now supports the Nokia N9 !

Oh yeah, that's right ! Nokia Beta Labs has released Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta for Windows (v3.5.14), which now supports the Nokia N9. It allows Nokia N9 (and N950) owners to copy content between the phone and computer (including contacts and SMS backup / sync) and Internet tethering. It can be downloaded from here.

WiFi SMS : Answer and Send SMS From your Computer !

WiFi SMS forwards your sms to your computer over wifi or usb-networking so you can answer them with your usual keyboard at home.

It consists of two parts :

- The client application on the N900 which connects to WiFi SMS on the computer

- The server application which will actually run on Windows with .NET 4 installed. (Usually this should be no problem)

The application features are:

- Sending and receiving SMS to and from the computer
- Transfering your phonebook from the phone to the application on the computer where you can choose the people you would like to write to.
 - Sending one sms to multiple recipients (Just hold down ctrl and choose contacts)
 - See who has written you an sms (it shows the full name from your phonebook)
 - Supports every TCP/IP-based connection ways.
 - You can start an accesspoint and connect your device to it or use MAD Developer to get a network over usb.
- Client works in portrait and landscape mode! (Although portrait might be useless because of debugtext wrapping)

Ps : i think this is more reliable than ovi suite (with bluetooth) which often don't recognize the N900...

OSX N900 iSync plugin 1.1 released

OSX N900 iSync plugin enables the synchronisation of contact, calendar and task information between the N900 and any computer running OS X 10.5 or greater.

The current outstanding issue is that events created on the N900 with an alarm will not appear on the Mac, this is due to an issue with the N900, not the plugin. The plugin currently only works over a bluetooth connection, and you will need to install the "Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking" package on your N900 so iSync can find it.

This new release adds the ability to sync over a USB connection, and fixes a bug with the handling of custom labels. Please see the release notes/changelog for full details.

Salling Media Sync 1.1.5 version supports Nokia N900 !

Salling Software AB on Wednesday updated its application for syncing media from iTunes and compatible photo applications to mobile devices. The new version is compatible with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (Windows version only) and some of the hottest new phones, including Google Nexus One, Motorola DEXT, T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ, and Nokia N900. A full list of supported devices is available at http://www.salling.com/mediasync/compatibledevices/

Salling Media Sync couldn't be easier to use. Once the phone is connected to a USB port, the users simply select the playlists, podcasts and photo albums they want on the device. Salling Media Sync not only uploads the music tracks and podcast episodes, but also replicates each actual playlist on the device and—on devices that support it—transfers play count metadata for each item to the device, reinforcing the sense of having a piece of iTunes in your pocket.

Salling Media Sync 1.1.5 is available now through Salling Software's web site (http://www.salling.com) at no cost for basic use.

At a price of $22/€15 per user license, the application intelligently updates your phone, resulting in faster syncs. Windows and Mac licenses are sold separately, and the bundle can be bought at a 25% discount.

Salling Media Sync for Windows is compatible with Windows XP SP2 (with Windows Media Player 11) or better, iTunes 7.6.x - 9.0.2 (for music and podcasts), and Adobe Photoshop Album SE 3.2 or Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.x - 8.x (for photos).

Salling Media Sync for Mac is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.11 or better, iTunes 7.6.x - 9.0.2 (for music and podcasts), and iPhoto '08 - '09 or Aperture 2.x (for photos).
